REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Talend (NASDAQ: TLND), a global leader in cloud data integration and data integrity, today released financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

We’re pleased to report that we now have over 1,500 cloud customers. We continue to gain market and mind share, and for the fourth consecutive year we were recognized as a Leader in the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools. We are confident our transition to the cloud remains on track and the progress we have made positions us for long-term growth.”

Recent Business Highlights:

  • Total customer count crossed 3,500 with over 1,500 cloud customers

  • Signed a record multi-year, multi-million-dollar cloud deal with an existing customer

Financial Guidance, assuming similar business conditions and foreign exchange rates as of July 31st, 2019:

Third quarter of 2019:

  • Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $61.5 million to $62.5 million.
  • Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of $(7.3) million to $(6.3) million.
  • Non-GAAP net loss is expected to be in the range of $(7.8) million to $(6.8) million.
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $(0.25) to $(0.22).
  • This is based on a basic and diluted weighted average share count of 30.7 million shares.

Full year 2019:

  • Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $246.0 million to $248.0 million.
  • Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of $(28.5) million to $(26.5) million.
  • Non-GAAP net loss is expected to be in the range of $(30.1) million to $(28.1) million.
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $(0.98) to $(0.92).
  • This is based on a basic and diluted weighted average share count of 30.6 million shares.

In addition to updating its guidance for the full year 2019, Talend is now anticipating free cash flow will be approximately negative $15 million for the full year 2019, largely due to shorter pre-billed contract duration. 

Talend’s outlook assumes similar business conditions and foreign exchange rates as of July 31, 2019. A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, many of the costs and expenses that the company adjusts for that may be incurred in the future.

These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the section under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially. An explanation of non-GAAP measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures. In addition to our GAAP results, we also present non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss per share. These non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit, operating expenses, operating loss, net loss, net loss per share, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We present these non-GAAP results because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for our fiscal second quarter 2019 results included in this press release.

Our non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss per share are exclusive of certain items to facilitate management’s review of the comparability of our core operating results on a period to period basis because such items are not related to our ongoing core operating results as viewed by management. We define our “core operating results” as those revenues recorded in a particular period and the expenses incurred within that period that directly drive operating income in that period. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because, in addition to providing meaningful supplemental information regarding operating performance, these measures give us a better understanding of how we should invest in research and development, fund infrastructure growth and evaluate the effectiveness of marketing strategies. In calculating the above non-GAAP results, management specifically adjusted for the following excluded items:

  1. Share-based compensation expense. We excluded from our non-GAAP results the expense related to equity-based compensation plans as they represent expenses that do not require cash settlement from us.
  2. Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We excluded from our non-GAAP results the intangible assets amortization expense resulting from our past acquisitions. These non-cash charges are not considered by management to reflect the core cash-generating performance of the business and therefore are excluded from our non-GAAP results.
  3. Transaction-related expenses. We excluded from our non-GAAP results the expenses which are related to recent acquisitions. These expenses are unrelated to our ongoing operations and we do not expect them to occur in the ordinary course of business. We believe that excluding these transaction-related expenses provides more meaningful comparisons of the financial results to our historical operations and forward-looking guidance.

In addition, we calculate certain non-GAAP measures and key business metrics as presented below:

  1. Free cash flow is defined as net cash from (used in) operating activities less cash used in investing activities for acquisition of property and equipment. We believe the disclosure of free cash flow provides useful information to understanding and evaluating our core operating performance and trends.
  2. Subscription revenue growth on a constant currency basis represents subscription revenue adjusted to exclude foreign currency effects. Subscription revenue on a constant currency basis is calculated by applying the average monthly currency rates for each month in the comparative period to the corresponding month in the current period. We believe the disclosure of subscription revenue in constant currency provides useful supplementary information to investors considering potential significant fluctuations in currency rates.
  3. Annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) is defined as the annualized recurring value of all active contracts at the end of a reporting period. ARR includes subscriptions for use of installed software products and SaaS offerings, which includes Stitch, and excludes original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") sales. Both multi-year contracts and contracts with terms less than one year are annualized by dividing the total committed contract value by the number of months in the subscription term and then multiplying by twelve.
